Bob Log III - Boob Scotch
Described by Tom Waits as “just the loudest strangest stuff you’ve ever heard.” Video is totally NSFW.
I cannot listen to this song without my eyes almost immediately tearing up. Have two shots of cheap whiskey before hitting play.
Tom Waits' Top 20 Albums
Ever hear that quote “talking about music is like dancing about architecture?” I think Steve Martin said it. Well, when Tom Waits talks about his top 20 albums, it’s like watching a 5-part interpretive dance cycle about Frank Lloyd Wright. It’s absolutely beautiful. Case in point (about Captain Beefheart’s Trout Mask Replica):
The roughest diamond in the mine, his musical inventions are made of bone and mud. Enter the strange matrix of his mind and lose yours. This is indispensable for the serious listener. An expedition into the centre of the earth, this is the high jump record that’ll never be beat, it’s a merlot reduction sauce. He takes da bait. Dante doing the buck and wing at a Skip James suku jump. Drink once and thirst no more.
Anyone know any good restaurants in Columbus, Ohio?
I need to know cause Sammy, Christina, Sammy’s friend Eddie, and I are going there in late June…
